    Floyd will eventually realize that he is now a garbage. He'll always be known as a guy who avoided threatening opponents in his league to keep his record and untarnished.

    Genero Hernandez, Angel Manfreddy, Unbeaten Diego Corrales, an dangerous opponent in Zab Judah, giving up significant weight advantages to his opponents on fight night like Delahoya, Baldomir, etc. Also was the first to KO Hatton.

    Whereas Manny beats over the hill fighters like Morales 2 that lost to Raheem. An MAB that was in so many wars already. Beating an weight drain Delahoya, beatin up on Hatton which Floyd already did. And Floyd's numbers for the same 2 opponents are significantly better tahn Mannys. Floyd don't fight weight drain opponents and that's a fact.

    Not to mention the most physically gifted fighter since Roy Jones and the best defensive fighter in the game. The way Manny fights and takes so many hits to the head, he's going to wind up like Freddie Roach.

    And another thing, Floyd doesn't get KO by bum fighters named Torrecampo or however you spell it.

    I have no problem with a business man who doesnm,t want to take risk but I definitely have a problem with a clown who's actions aren,t going in the same direction as his runningmouth.

    You said yourself Floyd picks easier fights for the most money and now it's like your trying to defend his resume and make his opponents of late seem more dangerous than they actually were.

    Now he picks easier fights, and the key word here is NOW, but early in his career those guys were dangerous opponents in their prime and at their best. And I think Corrales was the favorite in that fight at Super Featherweight. Guys like Cotto, Margarito, Clottey weren't even in the picture as top welterweights when he was fighting Judah, Baldomir. So can't say he ducked them. And Baldomir was the linear champ at 147.

    There is nothing wrong with minimizing your risks and maximizing your earnings. He's the best of his era, he has fought the most dangerous opponents for most of his career except for this Marquez fight. He should make his money and split, nothing else to prove. The undefeated number doesn't lie with 6 titles at 5 divisions.

    And I'll say it again, at least he doesn't make champions in other weight classes be weight drain to take their title belts as is the case with Manny wanting to fight Cotto and Mosley at 141 to take their welterweight belts.
